.. data and tools to develop insights into personal consumption patterns by state .. growth in state personal consumption expenditures (PCE) – the measure of goods and services purchased by or on behalf of households – decelerated to 3.6 percent on average in 2015 from 4.4 percent in 2014. In 2015, PCE growth ranged from 1.5 percent in Wyoming to 5.0 percent in Florida. PCE by state data for 16 expenditure categories are shown for the U.S. and by state in the interactive table. See related Web section for more detail.

Per Capita Personal Consumption Expenditures
— Patterns & Characteristics by State
The following graphic shows patterns of percent change in total PCE 2010-2015 by state labeled with 2015 per capita total PCE. Use CVGIS project to examine PCE by types and different years. Integrate additional subject matter and types of geography. Click graphic for larger view with details.
– views developed with CVGIS and related GIS project & datasets.

In 2015, the fastest growing categories of expenditures across all states were food services and accommodations, health care and other nondurable goods. These categories along with housing and utilities were also the largest contributors to growth in total PCE by state.

Per capita PCE by state measures average PCE spending per person in a state. Across all states, per capita total PCE was $38,196. Per capita PCE by state ranged from a high of $49,717 in Massachusetts to a low of $29,330 in Mississippi.

Personal Consumption Expenditure by Category
PCE by state is the state counterpart of the Nation’s personal consumption expenditures (PCE). PCE by state measures the goods and services purchased by or on behalf of households and the net expenditures of nonprofit institutions serving households (NPISHs) by state of residence for all states and DC. PCE by state reflects spending on activities that are attributable to the residents of a state, even when those activities take place outside of the state. Per capita PCE by state measures average PCE spending per person in a state.

… data and analytical tools to examine Metro GDP patterns and trends. As a policy-maker, investor, business, advisor or stakeholder, it is important to know how and where the metro economy is changing … and how one or selected metros relate to the U.S. and other metros. Is metro X changing in a different direction than metro Y? By how much, why and is there a pattern? What does the healthcare sector, for example, contribute to a metro’s gross domestic product (GDP)? How does it compare to peer metros? How is the healthcare industry trending? Metro GDP data can provide insights and answers to these important questions. Developing insights using metro GDP data — an example. See related Web section for more detail.

Illustrative GDP by Sector Trend Profiles
Real GDP by sector profiles are available for the U.S. and each state and MSA. The Metro GDP data are part of the State & Regional Income & Product Accounts (SRIPA). The following profiles illustrate these data for metros, states and the U.S.

View Metro GDP Characteristics section in the Metropolitan Area Situation & Outlook Reports, providing the same scope of data as in the table below integrated with other data. See example for the Dallas, TX MSA. GDP tells an important but small part of the broader metro demographic-economic characteristics. Most metros have sub-county areas experiencing growth or activity sometimes masked when looking at the entire metro.

GDP by metropolitan area is the sub-state counterpart of the national gross domestic product, the most comprehensive measure of U.S. economic activity. GDP by metropolitan area is derived as the sum of the GDP originating in all the industries in the metropolitan area. Use the interactive table, tools and resources provided/described in this section to access and analyze current and real metro GDP patterns. See more about metro GDP below in this section.

Use the Metro GDP GIS Project/Datasets
Use the CV XE GIS software and MetroGDP GIS project to create thematic pattern maps and integrate the employment situation data with other data. Add your own data. Apply different queries. Label geographic areas. Create zoom views. Put results into stories and analytical documents. ProximityOne User Group members may install the MetroGDP GIS Project (see details here) and prepare thematic pattern maps like the one shown above.

Use the Metro GDP Interactive Table
The graphic below illustrates use of the Metro GDP Interactive Table to view, rank, query current dollar and real GDP annually over the period 2009-2014. This view shows metros ranked on real GDP change during the period 2009 to 2014. The National Rank column show the rank of the metro among all 381 MSAs as of 2014 based on current dollar GDP.

94% of the U.S. population live in metropolitan areas. Metropolitan areas are comprised of one or more contiguous counties having a high degree of economic and social integration. This section is one in a continuing series of posts focused on a specific metropolitan area — this one on the Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land, TX MSA. This section illustrates how relevant Decision-Making Information (DMI) resources can be brought together to examine patterns and change and develop insights. The data, tools and methods can be applied to any metro. About metros.

Focus on Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land, TX MSAA thumbnail … in 2012, the Houston-The Woodlands-Sugar Land, TX MSA had a per capita personal income (PCPI) of $51,004. This PCPI ranked 23rd in the United States and was 117 percent of the national average, $43,735. The 2012 PCPI reflected an increase of 4.5 percent from 2011. The 2011-2012 national change was 3.4 percent. In 2002 the PCPI of the Houston MSA was $34,696 and ranked 37th in the United States. The 2002-2012 compound annual growth rate of PCPI was 3.9 percent. The compound annual growth rate for the nation was 3.2 percent. These data are based in part on the Regional Economic Information System (REIS). More detail from REIS for the Houston metro at the end of this section.

About Metropolitan AreasBy definition, metropolitan areas are comprised of one or more contiguous counties. Metropolitan areas are not single cities and typically include many cities. Metropolitan areas contain urban and rural areas and often have large expanses of rural territory. A business and demographic-economic synergy exists within each metro; metros often interact with adjacent metros. The demographic-economic makeup of metros vary widely and change often.

2013 vintage metropolitan areas include approximately 94 percent of the U.S. population — 85 percent in metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs) and 9 percent in micropolitan statistical areas (MISAs). Of 3,143 counties in the United States, 1,167 are in the 381 MSAs in the U.S. and 641 counties are in the 536 MISAs (1,335 counties are in non-metro areas).
